EPISODE 283
Are you too comfortable?
Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
- Most of us aren’t stuck. We’ve just gotten comfortable where we are.
- The trap of small gains is that they offer a temporary relief to your challenges. But, if we get comfortable with the small gains, we may stop pushing for the larger ones.
- If “good enough” is good enough for you, you cheat yourself of “great.”
- It’s hard to innovate and grow when you’re comfortable where you are.
- Too many of us have gotten comfortable with mediocre when we are capable of so much more.
There are a lot of principals who say they want 100%, but in reality, they have gotten pretty comfortable where they are. They’re not the worst school in the district they reason, and they are at least making some tiny incremental gains. So although they would LOVE to do better, things could be worse.
Frankly, the system is set up to make us comfortable with “good enough.” But it’s all a trap.
On today’s episode, I want to challenge this idea of good enough and shake us all out of our comfort zone. And, if you’ve gotten a little too comfortable lately, my goal is to give you the boost you need to stick to your goals #LikeABuilder.
